So it’s taken me over 24 hours to be able to process everything that happened yesterday, and be able to write this post, and I’m still overcome with emotion after running the 2025 @londonmarathon with 56,640 other incredible humans. For my first marathon , in searing sun, I was really happy to just finish. 3 hours and 52 minutes of pure grit, sweat, and emotion – all made better by running every step alongside my running partner @rosstn . The heat was relentless, easily one of the toughest challenges I’ve ever faced, but the energy from the crowds and unity of everyone pushing through together was something I’ll never forget for as long as I live. From strangers cheering my name to high-fives from kids on the pavements, it felt like the whole city was lifting me up. I’ve never been so exhausted, so emotional, or so proud. This was more than a marathon – it was a celebration of human spirit, resilience, and connection. Together, we raised £7,000 for the @epilepsysociety . My heart and head knowing I was running for something bigger than myself was what kept me going when my legs wanted to quit. Thank you to everyone who supported, donated, and cheered me on. I did it! Now I can stop talking about running, and sleep xxx

Let’s Go!!! Obligatory kit shot for tomorrow’s @londonmarathon running on behalf of the @epilepsysociety Something dawned on me recently. I’ve lived in London for over 20 years, and in all that time I have never experienced the London marathon… not even as a spectator. I cannot believe that the first time I’ll hear the starting gun, or cross tower bridge, or hear the roar of crowd will be as a runner, taking part. It’s a bit mindblowing. Feeling a mixture of emotions today….. excited to go… nervous to run… sad it’ll be over… it’s a whirlwind. It’s been a pleasure training this last 16 weeks. Thanks Ross for keeping me accountable… Just one one long run to get me through @rosstn Let’s make it a good one!!! 💜

Ok. Here goes… already feeling emotional writing this, and I’m not even at the start line. This Sunday, I’ll be running the London Marathon for @epilepsysociety — a cause that’s deeply personal to me. Growing up, I watched my mum live with epilepsy, and later in life, I began living with it myself. It’s been a part of my world for as long as I can remember — not just a diagnosis, but a daily reality. That’s why every single step I’ve taken in training, and every penny I’ve raised has meant something more. Through early mornings, long runs, and miles in the pouring rain, frost and blazing sun… I’ve carried this cause with me. The hard work is done. Now, all that’s left is to show up, run with my whole heart, and finish this final chapter strong. Since January, I’ve ran almost 400 miles in training, and I’ve felt every one. I’ve felt myself get stronger. It’s felt good. Every mile, every blister, and every soggy run has been worth it for this moment. I never was a runner. To be honest, I’m still not sure I am. But I WILL run this. Because I have too… because I can. I’ve come to realise that just being physically able to run, let alone run a marathon is already a gift in itself. Not something to be taken for granted. I’ve had to let go of the fear of doing it in a certain time. I don’t need to beat anyone else. I just need to finish. The only competition is against the little voice inside my head that wanted me to quit a few times along the way, just 26.2 more miles to go. So…. Bring it on Sunday. I’m doing this for my mum. I’m doing this for me. Let’s go. (More in comments)

Flowers are a huge influence in everything we do in the archive at @18.01london From the way we select colour, to the floral displays we show alongside curated vintage we show the design teams who visit.
